Just spent a week enjoying the hell out of this mix!

Gerry's mix takes the listener on a trip through soul-jazz into
(just the right amount of) jungle-dub through hip-hop and acid-jazz ending
with a HOT-HOT nina simone into Lalo with a cameo by his son maceo (Ithink?)

Technically the sound is clean clean clean. Musically it keeps a good
groove. It seems storebought with the ability to jump between tracks and
Gerry's packaging is clean as well

The Sergio Mendes cover of "For what its worth" is the shit!

Hands up to Gerry!
